Document background
The Employment Contract Form is a fundamental document used to establish and formalize employment relationships in Hong Kong. It serves as the primary agreement between employers and employees, incorporating mandatory provisions required by the Hong Kong Employment Ordinance while allowing flexibility for additional terms based on specific roles and industries. This document is essential for any new hire or employment relationship modification in Hong Kong, ensuring compliance with local employment laws, data privacy regulations, and mandatory benefits requirements. It should be used at the commencement of any new employment relationship or when substantively modifying existing employment terms.
